In silence, visualize yourself settled in your spot - anywhere in the world...
You are enjoying the surroundings...
Suddenly you see yourself appear in the distance and you begin walking toward you, the person who is settled in that favorite spot.
The person walking towards you- this other you- walks happily and with confidence.
The face looks so peaceful and content.
You look so beautiful and radiant.
You observe and appreciate yourself...
What special qualities do you see?...
What special talents or skills?...
What else do you think you can be, you can do, if given opportunity?...
Enjoy looking at yourself...
Feel your uniquenesss...
You are special and valuable...
Now...
Slowly...
Become aware of 'here and now'.
Listen for all the sounds you are possibly hear- traffic, voices, movement, birds and so on.
Feel the movement of the air and fell the temperature.
Become aware of your own breathing.
Just be the observer of all these things, and situate yourself in the centre of the space around you.
In the same way that you are surrounded by all these things, you are at the centre of all your present situations - roles, responsibilities, relationships, routines - so bring yourself to the centre of these, and again, just observe them as a spectator.
In this state of calm observation, try to remember the most important story you bave heard in your life - a story that has somehow had a deep impact on you.
The story can be a myth, a fable, a movie, or even a real story.
Go through the details of the story in your mind and think about its meaing.
When the story is clear, ask yourself, 'What aspect of my inner world has this story evoked?'
Is it love, happiness, realization, goodness?
What comes to your mind?
Now just leave the story aside and stay with the feeing that it has brought up.
Try to stay with the feeling for a few more moments.
